Here ls n wrinkle.

Wrinkles is a subject discussed by q
writer who gives some simple hints for
their prevention and removal
Wrinkles are due (he says) to the
gradual wearing away OF flesh under
meath the cuticle. Why does the flesh
wear away2 Because the facial mus
cles have either too little or the wrong
kind of exercise. 1t will be observed
that wrinkles usually take down
ward course. This is due to the wrong
kind of exercise. What eXercise2
Why. the washing and wiping of the
face. to be cure.
Reverse the process, and, instead of
ru pbing the face down in washing and
wiping, always rub upwards. This
will have the effect of counteracting
the tendency of the flesh to depart
from under the cuticle, and will keep
the face free from wrinkles. 1t is
rather an awkward habit to acquire at
first, but perseverance will make it
second nature, and the result is worth
many pains. This exercise is designed
particularly for the benefit of the eyes
and upper portion OF the cheeks.

HOTELS OF LONG AGO,

In 1907 William Hodge, Sr, built
an addition to his log house In Buffalo,
and established a tavern, about which
his son, William Hodge, wrote thus:
"This noble mansion consistedlof two
rooms on the lower floor, with wide
hall between them. 1t had battened
doors. naked peeled beams and win
dows OF 7x9 glass. The north room
was used as parlor, sitting room,
main kitchen and dining room. The
south room was the more public one.
There the eye was caught by large
black letters on an unpainted door,
telling the visitor to walk in.' and
there too was the latch string hang
ing on the outer side of the door. This
room also contained the bar, which
was partitiontd of in one corner.
Under the shelves stood the whisky
and cider barrels, and on them were
the kegs of brandy. rum and gin, and
one or two kinds of wine, as Madeira
and port. May be there was also keg
OF shrub or peppermint cordial there,
and occasionally one of methegin.
Sometimes, in the proper season, the
bar would contain barrel Of spruce
beer, homemade OF course. There
was no lager beer in those days. The
sugar box and money drawer were
made to slide under the front counter
board. The white sugar then used
came in high, tapering, solid cakes
called sugar loaves, done up in coarse
brown or black paper. A few may
yet be seen. The liquors sold at the
bar were always measured out in the
wine glass and gill cup, or in larger
quantities when desired.
Cider was sold by the pint or quart,
red peppers being added; and In cold
weather it was set upon Goals and
embers to heat The mixed drinks
furnished at the bar were termed
'slings,' and were made of sugar.
water and brandy, rum or gin, WELL
stirred with the 'sugar-stick.' Hot
slings were made the same way, ex-
cept that hot iron was put in to
temper them, slight sprinkling OF
nutmeg being regularly added. A
'sangaree' was made in the same way,
using wine instead of stronger Ii
quors. Nearly all were as much in the
habit OF using these different kinds Of
liquors as beverages as people now a'e
| of using tea, coffee and even milk. The
| fire place in this bar.Ioom and that in
the north room were without jambs
the chimneys being built with split
sticks and plsstered. That in the
north room was furnished with a
'trammel pole and 'trammel with
hooks to match, for hanging kettles,
ETC., over the fire. The hearths were
made of stones gathered from the fields.
The chamber rooms were used for
sleeping purposes. An addition built
| on the east side of the bar. room was
used as back kitchen and wash room.
1t had sloping root, being lean
to- The fire place was built in one
corner of it, and the chimney and
hearth were of the same materials as
those in the other rooms"
